Thank you so much, it was beautiful .

Miss you

💗💓💞💕❣️💖💘💝

I have performed the stabat Mater a 10. So, so hard. So beautiful.

could you please expain the pairings of the sonatas you executed ? Particularly, the sonatas K.491 and K.102 . I cannot find any source of these pairings.

Wonderful Wonderful. Thanks. Please discuss and enlighten on Chopin’s contributions which were misrepresented as small or irrelevant by many. Why.

Thank you. Instant subscription.

Well done! I am a relative newcomer when it comes to exposure to Scriabins' ouevre, thank God I am aware of the depth and genius of his artistic output. I am particularly enthralled re: his mysticism and your presentation outlining the use of his 'mystic chord' was excellent! Keep up the superb work!

Very nice little video. As far as the performance, even counting the fact that this is music written for the harpsichord, and at the risk of sounding condescending (not my intention), I'll say what an old piano teacher of mine told me when I was a young "clavier-kavalier", which change forever the way I listen to myself playing": "You know there are plenty of more dynamics than mf and f, right...?". Cheers!

that was beautiful thank you so much!

Such a underrated chanel helped me alot with understanding this piece, ive learnt it and came here it opend my eyes alot Edit: i subbed 👍

Brazil, when she was born, was an independent country from Portugal (1822 ) it was an Empire on its own not Portuguese. ( Try to say it Shee-kinha ) ch sounds sh in português 😉

Great. As I do some synthesis for piano, as former piano student, this just inspired me to write some small pieces that will have a sarcastic spirit, dedicated to the silly puppets politicians of my country, Greece.

Loved this feature on Debussy, especially the connection between the teenage Debussy's musical development and your teenage students' performative development. Debussy's craft and art matured considerably, to say the least, as will your students. Bravo!

I really enjoyed your report on Wanda Landowska. I am French and grew up in St Leu-la- Forêt (that’s the full name) about 16 miles north of Paris. She is still an hero there. I have several of her old LPs. She had an outstanding school there that the Nazis destroyed. She was an outstanding artist, one of a kind. A hero or mine, too.

Wow that's amazing😍

You should make a video about Messiaens 8 preludes. They are fantastic pieces that are not well-known. Love your stuff!

Thank you for this video! With his Debussy set alone, Mr. Ericourt has been one of my very favorite pianists. I have been trying to find any official/unofficial recordings he may have left besides the Debussy set and a waltz compilation on Kapp, but unsuccessful... I can only assume there might be some recorded archives at the music institutes where he taught or at the radio stations in the cities where he held recitals. Would you have any info or insight on his additional recordings (or anything you would like to share about him)? Thanks again!

Here on RUclips I keep hearing this wayward version of the crossed hands story. D Scarlatti was always somerhing of a skeletal character; it was well known that as his regal patron and pupil's midriff began to expand along with her skill that Scarlatti tactfully began to lay aside the crossing of hands which had begun to be unwieldy for her to accomplish with her former elegance. (And, now I think of it, as the baroque age was getting tired it was the age of elegance which was gathering pace.) But yes- Scarlatti has been my hero since I first met his sonatas in my early teens. He is in a class of his own!

It's a strange fact that the movie Amadeus made Salieri famous to most non musicians and falsely created an image of him that is totally incorrect.

Wanda was dismissed 😂far too soon for what she did for music after she died!

O Choro é criação Carioca, não brasileira.

Fabulous music. Thanks, Rick.

An enjoyable and informative musical topic on composer Domenico Scarlatti's sonatas compositions. He lived in the period of the Baroque fathers, enriching his harpsichord, guitar, sonatas and coral sacred music. I enjoyed your piano performance, Thank you Rick

I enjoy her music so much! Thank You Rick for recognising her Talent! I have a song called SAMBAMOR, here in my channel, where the arrangement is inspired in her workpiece.

2:26 "A funny little tune, but it yielded some good things." : - )

Fantastic performance, I recognized, you pushed back, slightly put your foot on the break pedal (just a metafor) to unjudge the tempo, it's easy to accerilate in this up tempo, great done. Now I really follow your channel with great excitement😎

Another amazing lecture😎

Great lesson and performing😎

nobody seems cares here that u r talking about different prelude... This is G flat major.

This was excellent. Very interesting and informative. Very much enjoyed the performances 😊

"Promo SM"

What an interesting channel <3

Fascinating! I read SoYW about 15 years ago. Something about it intrigued me enough to read a second time, somthing I rarely do. It so happens that chopin is my favorite composer, and C#minor, my favorite key. I always thought there is something quite melancholy about that particular key, having a preference for monor keys in particular.

Thank you, Rick

Fantastic video!! Thank you for sharing your insight into Scarlatti's oeuvre, he is a completely unique composer among the classics. There is, however, a slight correction to be made: i'm afraid the sonata starting in 14:14 is not K. 102, but K. 430. The former is in G minor.

Great! I enjoyed.

Terrific and very enjoyable presentation, Rick. Thank you! As a harpsichordist myself, I absolutely adore Scarlatti along with Albero, Seixas and Soler amongst the Iberian School. A gentle correction however, if I may. It was actually Queen Maria Barbara who stacked on the weight rather than Scarlatti. An analysis of her portraits from youth to her later years will amply illustrate that, whereas the only portrait we have of Domenico is rather lean for a man pushing late 50s at the time. Congrats to for your sensitive yet energetic performances. I never tire of the Sonatas! Best wishes from Melbourne, Australia 😀🎼😀

That's fantastic. Go through the lecture and then "boom!" the two great piano pieces make this a totally satisfying experience!

Excellent overview! I learn so much from your videos and love your brilliant performances. Thank you for sharing your vast musical wisdom 🤓🎶

As a 10 year old I listened to WL recording of the Oginski Polonaise in A Minor. I was stunned with the majestic ferocity of the instrument and WL's rendition. ...unlike anything I had ever heard before, or since. It amazes me that her recordings, history etc. are not better known among the music-loving population at large(!)

Nice job

As you say, Mozart did have a special relationship with G minor. His 25th Symphony was a sign of things to come and, as good as it is, it's incredible to stop and consider that he was 17 years old when he wrote it! And of course, Mozart's 40th Symphony is IMO the GOAT, it flows seamlessly from one unforgettable melody to the next and it's never boring. The 2nd movement is magical. And thanks for recognizing his 20th Piano Concerto, IMO it is second only to his 23rd Piano Concerto.

Fantastic performance! I enjoy it very much!

A very impressive performance! Bravo! The background info is also well researched and presented.

Tbh though I recall I thought I heard some rare pieces by Scriabin that I liked, none of his better known stuff does anything to me, I think he’s overrated.

Thanks, Rick. Very interesting, and - as always - beautifully played!

Great video!

Extremely well done!

fascinating presentation. Thanks, Rick
